(NEUTRAL ENDING) CHAPTER 3: A Dark Night in the Great Valley

*With the end of the cold afternoon, and the beginning of the wet night, as Frisk passes along the path indicated by Chomper, there is less snow, and the rivers are abundant*

*Frisk arrives at a specific area, there is a small waterfall, he notices two herbivorous children who are not paying attention to him... and Ruby in her stall lounging around*

?: *An "random" little three-horned pink girl* Hey friend! *speaking to Frisk, not knowing that he is a sharptooth* have you heard about the amazing three-horned girl? She defeated 3 ferocious Sharptooths alone! that's Cera and she's my sister :D

Frisk: *Gulps* I... I see, she's very brave... I'm glad she's your sister, do you know where I find her?

?: She's EVERYWHERE

Frisk: jeez...

Ruby: hey, psst, I just wanted to thank you for becoming friends with Chomper, very friendly of you, very friendly, if you see Cera, just hide from her... You don't stand a chance against her...do ya like cold water?

Frisk: Yes, of course I'll avoid it at all costs!...and yes i like water

* Frisk crosses a waterfall using logs, I make it a little difficult for him but after minutes he reaches the other side, encountering some long bushes, while he passes through them, he hears a noise from above, staying completely still... *

Chomper: *From above* Hey! Hello Cera, oh of course the daily report... do you remember about the sharptooth that I mentioned to you a few moments ago? *nervous laughs*

Cera: Yes...did you confront him?

Chomper: Y-Yes! I-I did it...but, honestly...I failed

Cera: I already imagined it, then I will have to be the one to finish him off!.

Chomper: B-but! but it is not necessary to have to kill him, yes...? because...well...ehhh

Cera: …You're acting strange... are you hiding something?

Chomper: NOPE! I'm not hiding anything... you, just continue with your mission, you're stronger than me after all, right?... *he says while taking steps backwards* Good luck! *After he leaves*

Cera: *Looks with suspicious eyes at Chomper, but suddenly she looks down, towards the bush where Frisk is, she hears some noises...*

*Frisk is terrified, Cera is almost in front of him, although he is more terrified of unknowing who is next to him, those sounds that caught Cera's attention were not caused by him...*

*Fortunately, after a few seconds, Cera diverted her attention to a pair of herbivores that were prowling through the night, retreating into the darkness, so Frisk finally came out of the bushes*

Frisk: * Turns around to the stranger who was next to him * ...Who is it?

*Out of the bush comes that same little pink three-horned girl, Cera's sister*

?: My friend, did you see that? Cera put her attention on you! Isn't that something honorable? hehehe, my name is Tricia and I hope I don't bother you but I'll be here accompanying you at night! Come, let's see how Cera gives that mysterious Sharpteeth what he deserves!

*Tricia runs but falls to the floor*

Tricia: Ouch *she gets up and keeps running*

Frisk: Hey, are you okay...? *He Says, following Tricia who after a moments, just disappears from his view*...Wait that's...more puzzles? And I thought it had happened against Chomper...well, let's use my head again

*Frisk solves certain puzzles and manages to continue the path, either by placing logs on the water, throwing stones to collapse rocks and thus form bridges...*

*RING*

Frisk: Huh? *Takes that device that Chomper gave him and answers the call*

(Chomper): "Psst, hey friend, this is Chomper! Sorry for not calling before, I forgot to give you a specific number...so I had to use all the numbers until I found you! By the way, are you wearing something? I ask on behalf from a friend...she says she saw you wearing a silly striped blanket...is that true?"

Frisk: Yes...? Yes I wear a...silly striped blanket

(Chomper): "Understood! Have a good day!"

*Ring*

Frisk: What chaotic things, well... we have to continue *Looks at some blue flowers, which repeat things, random conversations of unknown herbivores* I have never seen this before, it's wonderful! *Its wonderful, its wonderful...* Hehe…

*He follows the path, collapses a wall with ready-made methods, reaching a wooden bridge over a cold and icy river, there are some herbivores hanging around, but they don't pay much attention to him, Frisk manages to pass himself off as some kind of Wild arm, Big mouth, or some herbivore that walks on two legs*

*Soon he reaches a lonely and silent part...Silence broken by CERA who arrives surprisingly from the heights of where Frisk is, Cera uses a kind of magic, throwing sharp horns*

* Frisk doesn't even give him time to think, he just runs away and runs for his life, dodging the three horn's attacks until he reaches more bushes *

Cera: Alright, ESCAPE FROM YOUR DUMB HIDEOUT! SHARPTOOTH COWARD! *Goes dangerously close to the bushes to go directly to attack Frisk*

*She enters the bushes to attack quickly, but something got in the way, something that Cera ended up carrying with her head...*

Cera: ...TRICIA!? What are you doing awake!? Do you want something bad to happen to you?

Tricia: Hey, I, I just want to see you save everyone! because you are so strong and brave!

*The praise distracts Cera, which Frisk takes advantage of to run away and sneak away*

*Frisk runs at full speed, without direction, until he accidentally stumbles upon a viewpoint*

Frisk: Oh...that...hurt *Looks up* Ru-?

Ruby: heh, what's up friend, are you okay?

Frisk: Well, apart from the fact that I'm hurt, cold, hungry and lost...I'm doing great.

Ruby: boy, that was my line, well, wouldn't you like to see through this viewpoint? the stars are beautiful

*Frisk approaches and looks through the viewpoint, the stars are definitely beautiful, he looks away from it*

Frisk: You're right about that, I always think that stars are something special, more than just lights in the empty sky...more than-

*Ruby giggles*

Frisk: huh? what are you laughing at...?

Ruby: nothing, nothing, I just wonder how a painted eye sees things right.

Frisk: ... wait a minute ... * he checks the area around his eye, it's painted with berries, it happened after he put his eye on the viewpoint *

*Ruby laughs*

Frisk: Hey! I don't know how I fell for that creative joke, but ok, very funny, no Ruby?...by the way, before you disappear for no apparent reason in front of me...

*Ruby as soon as frisk blinks, she does what he just told her*

Frisk: :c

* As time passes, it gets colder, the night is darker and the river currents do not improve anything, Frisk thinks about resting somewhere, which is technically impossible knowing that he has Cera on top of him, he thinks about a hiding place , searching*

*RING*

(Chomper): Hello! Here again! Do you remember when I asked you about that blanket? Well...let's say that the friend who asked that wants to kill you...but don't be alarmed! I'm sure you already knew that...but hey! You're still alive, just follow the usual advice, avoid Cera, okay?

Frisk: ok!

*Ring*

Frisk: Thank you for that...well you're definitely right about something...now it's time to do the favorite activity that I hate the most.

*Killing and feeding, that is, it tries to hunt only insignificant beings, although who knows, maybe it takes a poor inhabitant, after that he quickly cleans himself of the blood stains he may leave in the river, while a doubt arises*

Frisk: Now that I think about it...why when I kill certain herbivores...they leave their bodies there...but when I killed Helen, she just vanished like dust?...There are mysterious things here, I wish I could I'll stay to solve them, but I have no other choice-

*A "random" purple fish comes out of the water*

?: Hey! Friend! Hello!

Frisk: *He looks back and gets scared, thinking that the fish heard what he was saying* EH YES?! I-I was just saying...jokes?! eh yes...eh

?:Jokes? Then you have to have a great sense of humor to tell it to yourself! My name is Mo! I came here stealthily to surprise Littlefoot!

Frisk: Littlefoot...the...brilliant scientist, right?

Mo: Exactly, it's so brilliant, I think he told me about expanding the barriers of the great valley, which is good for me, so I won't be so far from my friends!...

Frisk: Wow, and do you know...how do I find it?

Mo: Excuse me my friend, but his laboratory is located near volcanoes and hot things! I'm not in it! but if you keep walking I think you'll see him... if you get there before me tell him that his old friend Mo is coming to give him a special gift!

Frisk: Yes, in fact I already have like 2 requests for something to say to him...hey, time is running out so, it was nice meeting you Mo, I'll see you...later I think...

Mo: Okay, have a good time!

*Frisk leaves the bridge, back on land, midnight is approaching, and the weather doesn't look very good either...he takes a kind of umbrella sometimes made of a palm tree and continues just in case it rains, which is just what happens *

Frisk: Oh, how lucky I am... huh? Tricia?

Tricia: Hey! Friend, I see you have an umbrella, so let's go!

*Both walk in the middle of the drizzle, protected by the umbrella while they talk*

Tricia: Friend, Cera is so cool! She beats up the bad guys and she never loses! If I were a sharpeeth she would be so terrified! knowing that she is coming for me, haha.

Frisk: *Looks suspiciously* Yeah...I'd be so terrified, that's really amazing...well, well, how do you live having an amazing sister?

Tricia: The best of the best! I really got excited knowing that, very lucky, I think many would like to be in my position! Cera is the best, she is unbeatable...

*And they continue talking, Frisk tries to make sure something doesn't happen wrong, the rain stops, and they find an overhang*

Tricia: Uh, too bad, but hey, I know you want to see Cera, she just climbs on top of me.

*Frisk delicately climbs up without trying to hurt Tricia, being already on top*

Frisk: Hey, how are you going up? You need help too right?

Tricia: Don't worry friend, I always find a way to move forward! good luck with my big sister, see you!

*After a few minutes of advancing, he once again reaches a wooden bridge...suddenly, CERA ATTACKS AGAIN*

*Frisk applies the same thing as he tried, running and running, however he was injured several times by the horns that Cera made appear from below*

Cera: STOP, COWARD!

* Frisk makes his best attempt but is finally cornered by Cera, who approaches intimidatingly, Frisk trembles in terror thinking about what to do *

*Cera makes horns appear that collapse the bridge, making Frisk fall from a considerable height*

Frisk: *Falling again...*

...*A mysterious unconscious voice*

?: "At least the danger has passed...come on, get up...brother [REDACTED]"

Frisk: *Wake up* Huh? Who was that? Where am I now...more flowers? *He gets up, again the flowers cushion his fall, although without knowing what that voice was speaking...* I think I lost sight of Cera...but I feel more energetic, it helped me to sleep unconsciously haha, now let's see How do I get out of here...it will be a beautiful morning

*Frisk wanders around, looking for something to help him*

Frisk: There are only fruits...useless-

*Suddenly he gets slapped*

?: Ha ha ha! Did you think you could steal my sweet bubbles?! little dumb...

*Start of battle, after so long right?*

Kosh 9ATK-?DEF

*A random clubtail...right?

*Frisk tries to fight back, however his attack does nothing to whatever he is wearing Kosh*

Kosh: FOOL! Try whatever you want, you can't do ANYTHING!

*Frisk perseveres, now furious at this Clubtail's attitude, even though he gets nothing*

*After a long and UNNECESSARY battle, someone mysterious lets an entire bush of candy bubbles roll, which alarms Kosh who goes after to save that bush...a total glutton*

Frisk: That...I didn't do it-

?: Oh no, Petrie just interrupted them, you were having such a good time playing it, me just wanted to go say hi... but hey, hi! Me Petrie, hehe, Ruby and Chomper already told me about you, you're friendly! Petrie is sorry for being so unfriendly to you in the caves, but here I am!

Frisk: Well it's a pleasure to meet you Petrie, in fact you saved me haha, do you live around here?

Petrie: Yes! I live nearby with my brothers! Feel free to visit me whenever you want, your choice, so, now we're friends! Will one more sharptooth join our group?

Frisk: Group? Well, I would like to but, I must return...well, greetings and I hope you do well Petrie! *Says happily as he advances*

*He goes through a dark maze, he meets a very funny tiny longneck...haha...until he reaches a wall...Cera IS HERE*

*Frisk turns around, seeing the one who has been chasing him since yesterday*

Cera:...Seven, seven souls, with seven souls, the power will be unimaginable...with this power, the great valley will expand, the resources will multiply, there will be so much space for everyone, all within their own place, without having to fight among themselves, and the fear of the mysterious beyond will disappear, therefore, Sharpteeth, SURRENDER your soul...OR I WILL TEAR IT OUT FROM YOU

*Cera charges at Frisk to battle...*

Tricia: Cera I came to help you :D!

*Cera and Frisk stop their fight*

Tricia:...*Looks at frisk* Dude! You got it, you're in front of Cera!

Cera: TRICIA GET OUT OF HERE! OR I'LL TELL DADDY TOPS YOU DIDN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT!

Tricia: No! please don't do it D:

*Frisk, for the thousandth time, takes the opportunity to escape from Tricia's distraction*

Frisk: When will this end...when will I find the exit...will it be that one? *Seeing a light*

*Frisk is interrupted by Cera who appears above*

Cera: STOP ESCAPE, YOU FOOL COWARD! Do you think you go unpunished for EVERYTHING you do? Prowl through the valley murdering everyone you meet?

Frisk: I-I was just defending myself!

Cera: Defense?! HA HA HA! You didn't do it for that reason, you did it because it was easy for you to hurt them! But now, YOU will be the easy one to hurt!

*CERA CROSSES OUR PATH!*

Cera 19ATK-29DEF

*The amazing three-horned girl!

Cera: And now, you will have no escape... * Frisk's soul is turned green, he cannot move, only look in another direction using a kind of magical shield *

* Cera throws horns at Frisk, which blocks what he can, Frisk counterattacks doing some damage *

*Angry Cera makes more sharp horns appear from the ground to pierce Frisk*

*Frisk manages to get rid of the green soul for a while, returning to normal and avoiding those horns*

*The green soul returns, with now deceptive horns that actually go in the opposite direction, these take Frisk by surprise, taking damage*

* Frisk thinks about continuing to attack... but he remembers something, he can do little against her, and even if he wanted it, he would be judged by those who already shook his hand... *

* Cera continues his attack, Frisk manages to free himself from the green soul again, but now he tries his best to continue fleeing, which fails and he is caught each time by Cera, but he is still managing to advance *

*At this pace, Frisk is managing to advance, further and further, further away from Cera, after a distraction he manages to dodge a direct attack from Cera, he takes advantage of this to flee, REALLY FLEE, to the exit... and he succeeds, going deeper closer and closer to a kind of interior volcano, the heat becomes strong... but Frisk is determined to flee... managing to escape definitively from the battle while Cera chases him at full speed*

*Frisk notices that Cera can't stand the scorching heat of the volcano where they are, and also notices...Ruby at her stand as if nothing was happening*

Frisk: RUBY HELP ME PLEASE!

Ruby: *Zzz*

Cera: RUBY GET UP LAZY AND DO SOMETHING!

Ruby: *Zzz*

* Frisk and Cera are exhausted falling to the floor, but Frisk gets up first when he sees a fountain of cold water, he recovers but before leaving, he decides to help Cera pour cold water on her... *

*Cera rises after being cooled*

Cera: YOU! LITTLE...forget it...*Cera turns around and slowly walks back out of the volcano* AND DON'T THINK YOU WON! I was just practicing!

Frisk: Whatever you say...well, I made it out alive! and without hurting anyone! well, almost without hurting... *he turns around* Eh? What could this be? *Seeing some kind of building*

Ruby: it's Littlefoot's laboratory, it's personal, very few are interested in research, so Littlefoot took over that position... say hi to him for me, he's one of my best friends... *zzz*

Frisk: I'll do it, friend, I'll do it... *Sighs* This is getting complicated... but at least, I'm closer to the exit... right?...*He says as he heads to the doors of the building ...*

*END OF CHAPTER 3*:

Creator Notes: ItzUltiX

Now, this one did take me more time haha, simple laziness, but I think I'm trying to improve, I'm still not doing good battles but I hope that at least it's developing better, although I have cut certain parts that I was too lazy to recreate and that for me were not so necessary Another thing, most of the interactions that I didn't do are because I'll save them for the pacifist route, anyway, best regards and I'll see you in the next chapter: "The entrails of a volcano" or something like that, I'll think of something better later .
